Magadan Oblast, Administrative region in northeastern Russia.
Magadan Oblast encompasses 462,500 square kilometers of mountains, tundra, and taiga between the Sea of Okhotsk and the Kolyma Highland mountain ranges.
The region emerged as an administrative territory in 1953, following decades of gold mining operations managed by the Dalstroy organization through labor camps.
The regional museums and institutions in Magadan city preserve artifacts and documents related to indigenous Even people and the mining heritage.
The territory maintains connections through the federal R504 Kolyma Highway and Sokol Airport, while the Port of Magadan operates with icebreaker support.
Three quarters of the land remains covered in permafrost, with temperatures ranging from minus 29 degrees Celsius in January to 13 degrees in July.
